Today’s recipe for Brown Sugar Bananas and Cream is a favorite in our house, and once you try it, you’ll see why!  

On our way home from a trip to Saint Louis in August, we stopped for breakfast at The Original Pancake House. We spotted this dish on the menu, Brown Sugar Bananas and Cream, and decided to give it a try. My daughter Ella loved it so much, we came home and recreated it ourselves, and now it’s a regular in our kitchen! She just had it yesterday, and I already picked up more bananas today. The obsession is real and I have to admit, I’m just as hooked as she is!

So what makes this treat so addicting? Three simple ingredients: brown sugar, cream, and bananas. The brown sugar adds a sweet crunch, the cream coats the bananas in silky richness, and together it’s a match made in heaven. Our favorite way to enjoy it is with a bit of crunchy brown sugar on top, then swirl it through the cream before each bite for the ultimate experience.

This recipe is perfect for breakfast, dessert, or even an afternoon snack with a cup of coffee or tea. It’s super affordable and a delicious way to sneak in some potassium. Plus, it’s easy enough for the kids to make on their own! It’s a fun way for them to practice measuring and cutting—and the best part? They can whip up enough to share with the whole family!

Recipe tips and substitution ideas:


  • This recipe is best made and eaten immediately. The bananas will start to brown and the texture will be off if it's made ahead.
  • Half and half or whole milk could be used instead of cream. Try using raw sugar, white sugar, honey or maple syrup instead of the brown sugar.
  • Having problems keeping your brown sugar soft? Try using a brown sugar saver in your container!
